User talk:Yomangan/The Dog (Goya)

After all Dogriggr has done for you (and indirectly, cousin Whiskeydog), you do not inform him of this developing article? For shame, for shame. (And as bad, Mr. Caspar David Friedrich is called 'less intimate'; luckily it's a single line that has no potential for expansion, so you'll have to remove it eventually if you want the WBFAN star.)

Dogriggr wept; his parents are splitting up, and he is the only puppy that survived. This painting has special meaning to him. –Outriggr § 05:51, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It was a bit rough of me I must admit, but I had intended to knock it of in an hour or so, forgetting I didn't have any books on it. Dogriggr is my only rusted rimprover of rose, so of course I would have informed him of the forthcoming article had I not been distracted. As for CDF, he's the only influence I've thought of so far, though I shall probably have to cut him along with half the text when I fail to find a book to cite it.

 * My interpretation of this picture is that the dog of Sisyphus is loyally watching him from the base of the hill. ("Stay, Dogboldr!") You are free to add this insight to the article, of course -- probably the lead would be best. Please cite as Outriggr (2009), personal communication. –Outriggr § 00:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * He's probably just getting ready to duck when the boulder rolls back down then. Thanks for the tips on citing. Yomangani talk 00:20, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

"What endures in the Perro is the image of a dog that is more human than the men and women Goya painted in the black paintings. This dog is ineffably faithful, not in the sense of inarticulate canine fidelity or the unspoken fidelity of lovers, but in the sense of being true apart from which human life itself becomes a lie ..... we are shown the dog's head, whose eyes seem to looking in indeterminate space for a world that is no longer, or not yet there."

Dogriggr and I hope that you will incorporate this viewpoint in your article, because we see less utter despair than the description currently suggests. Thank you, –Outriggr § 03:02, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Utter despair is very popular, but yes, I already had that book in that long list. What I need are influences to help out poor old lonely CDF. I can't think of another. Yomangani talk 03:15, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
